Juniors Tag Classic

A division also in need of a resurgence

For the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships: Bullet Club (Taiji Ishimori and El Phantasmo) vs. Roppongi 3K (Sho and Yoh)

It is finally time for NJPW to reconsider the structure of its barren tag team divisions or at least merge them to make full use of the thinned roster at hand. NJPW's tag team scene is woeful, especially as the resilient Roppongi 3K have netted their third consecutive Super Jr. Tag tournament. Even then, this one has the potential for fireworks with the challengers out for revenge.

The champions have been particularly effective over the summer in a heated rivalry against the Birds of Prey (Will Ospreay and Robbie Eagles). The contest is no doubt going to heat the Tokyo Dome, especially with the flashy 3K and rabid Bullet Club boys at each other's throats. It's hard to imagine 3K not injecting some urgency into division by capturing the titles, yet they're just as ready to dominate in singles competition.

With no challengers beyond Suzuki Gun to look forward to, Roppongi 3K will eke out of this one with the gold continuing the hot shotting of this rivalry. It's not like anyone can complain about the kind of expected matches. Yet once again, maybe NJPW just needs one tag team division; a NEVER Openweight version as it is.

Result: Roppongi 3K come back from behind to secure the win and become the NEW IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions!
